At first I thought those things on the left were some pens and they had made her really small. It would be a cool photoshoot idea to see her miniatured next to some normal-sized objects haha

Did Katomina draw the shirt?

 

It's a shame her unit didn't win, but it was nice to see her perform along with other members during some of the songs before the event started

 

I'm not sure though, But I think she did.

Same, (Hell I was disappointed that both my oshis who were in this last in their first match). But I was happy she made it in and performed with the other members. Will also say that I would love to see more of Katomina, Nako, and Mirurun together.

She mentioned something about the dress. What did she say and what printed on the dress? thanks.

 

I'm pretty sure it has the whole subunit name on it.

Mentioned by @marioworldakb in the Noepii thread

AKB48 Group Members Collaborate with Gusto and Bamiyan commemorating the Sale of AKB48's Music Video Collection. When ordering the 'AKB48 Collaboration Set", you can get original coasters with the photographs taken up above.

Katomina is one of the girls for NGT48 along with OgiYuka (Now we know what the pic of them was for).

Katomina's will be at Bamiyan (Along Mion (AKB48), Obata (SKE48), Yoshida (NMB48), and Sakura (HKT48)) Of course me (Bamiyan > Gusto) since my two oshis are apart of the Bamiyan one lol. The Promotion runs from October 4th to October 31st.

Also what is the menu item that Katomina is recommending? (Also what all of the other members are doing as well).

^ Cannot read the last word at all (my eyes suck these days), but it's a dish with two types of sauce. Looks like some sort of meat dish?

 

Thanks .

It's wok-fried ginger chicken, looks like. Yep, two sauces, one on the side, a special sesame sauce.

And cheers to Noepii -- that was damned good 'the show must go on' thinking on the fly. But being an ex-cheerleader she's not at all intimidated ad-libbing in front of large crowds, so it fits!

Come to think... both of them were used to performing in front of large crowds before they even auditioned for NGT (KM of course being a high-pressure ex-Disney performer).

Had to laugh though, at the expressions of some of the higher-ranking girls in that Gusto promo -- Jurina, Yuihan, and Sakura -- look sooo thrilled to death to be there. I wonder if the director / staff did something to those three...

May I just say... that Katomina has one of the most iconic faces in all of J48G... I'm personally shocked she hasn't picked up a Shiseido or other makeup brand as a spokesperson yet... due to her age, maybe?

Her eyes, the shape of her face and features... feel very Japanese... but also in a quite refined way -- dare I say in a Ono no Komachi sense? (she is from Niigata, Komachi from Akita, only 100 miles away... and beauties from the Tohoku area are legendary).

Spoiler: One of the better modern depictions of Ono no Komachi

Katomina rarely if ever takes a bad picture... and even though she has tendency to boke a lot (esp on Niigata Friend )... it's no wonder Disney chose her to perform in their parades and shows before she joined -- her type of beauty is wholesome, pure... despite what she occasionally does to make fans think otherwise.
